Question

Have you ever seen people dance? Some dances are fast and others are slow. People’s feet always move when they dance. They keep on moving until the music stops.
People have enjoyed dancing for a very long time. This story is of a different kind of dance. It is a dance without people or music. Yet this dance is one of the oldest in the world. It is the dance of bees.
If you have ever watched bees, you know that they are very clever. They also work hard looking for food and bringing it back to their home.
The home of the bees is called a bee hive. Here hundreds even thousand of bees live. They work day and night building small walls. There they make their honey. This is the same honey that we eat.
Where does the honey come from? Bees live on food from flowers. Have you seen bees flying around a flower garden? When a bee rests on a flower, it tries to go to the centre of it. There it takes in as much food as its body can hold. Then it flies to take the food back to the hive.
At the hive, bees change flower food into honey. Then they fly away for more food.
How do the bees know where to find the best food in the sweetest flowers? One bee acts as a guide. When it discovers good flowers, it flies back to the hive and tells the others. It does this by dancing for them.
The bee dances on one side. This tells the other bees which way to go to find the flowers. But that is not all. The bee dances for some time. And the length of its dance tells the other bees how far they must fly to reach the flowers.
When the bees see the dance, they know where the flowers are. They fly away and return with more food for the hive.
Sometimes we hear the music of the bees as they fly around. But few people have ever seen them dance. Yet without that dance we might never have sweet honey to eat

文章講述了蜜蜂的舞蹈！
1.推理題。文章沒有涉及人類跳舞和蜜蜂跳舞的比較，A錯誤。也沒有提及人類是從蜜蜂那里學會跳舞的，所以B錯。也沒有說蜜蜂不喜歡音樂，所以D錯誤。根據文章可知蜜蜂要靠跳舞來告訴同伴事物的位置和距離，那么應該C正確。
2.根據文章倒數第四段最后兩行When it discovers good flowers, it flies back to the hive and tells the others. It does this by dancing for them.
3.推理題。根據第五段可知蜜是由蜜蜂從花里采回來的，所以我們應該是間接從蜜蜂那里得來的。
4.推理題。通讀全文可知蜜蜂辛辛苦苦地尋找花，然后再采蜜，說明他們很勤勞。
